Rupert Neve Designs Portico 511 - 500 series Mic Pre

The Rupert Neve Designs 511 is a 500 Series mic preamp using the preamp circuitry of the 5017 designed to provide a superb classic sound.

The Rupert Neve Designs 511 provides a vast array of sonic textures, from pristine sound to the classic Neve tones, thanks to the use of Silk and Texture circuit which adds transformer harmonic distortion to provide the warm vintage sound associated with Neve designs.
